Weekend update
I finally caught the Elijah Wood Intel ad over the weekend.
I'm so glad the kitty hair is back.
It's pretty obvious they got a petite actress because he barely fits in her lap. I suspect if they got someone more average-sized, it would be a little too "sitting on Santa's lap."
I also saw V for Vendetta. I've been putting off reading the comic because of my bad experience with The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (soulless tripe! soulless tripe!). The movie's a bit heavy handed and they draw 9/11 parallels where there were none in the comic (isn't it all about 80s England and Maggie Thatcher?). It's also less about anarchy and more about up with people against an unjust government. Thankfully the Matrixy effects were kept to a minimum.
Stephen Fry's in it for a short bit as everyone's favorite gay uncle (unlike Remus Lupin who is everyone's favorite gay uncle on smack). I was afraid Star Wars had atrophied Natalie Portman's acting muscles but I really liked her in it, and I like her better bald than with long hair.
And Hugo Weaving's voice so sexay.
Speaking of sexay, omgsosexy!

Holy shit.
It just dawned on me I still don't have the ROTK: EE DVDs.
Seriously, what the hell is wrong with me.

Random LOTR stuff
My office got a letter from a man who lives on Oliphant Drive. I shit you not.
And my sister is upset because Viggo has dumped Brego for Hidalgo. The poor horsey.

Sitting through an ad required
In an article about Lord of the Rings and current politics, Salon.com quotes Andrew Sullivan calling Viggo "cute but dumb as a post."
Bastard.

The Wave: What's the weirdest fan reaction you've had?
Ian McKellen: Some of them were angry that a gay man was playing Gandalf. They called it Gandalf the Gay and were opposed to my casting. They're ignoramuses who don't know about acting. I sometimes look at slash material on the internet, same-gender sex stories usually written by young women. They write about Legolas and Aragorn getting it on.
TW: Do you read Gandalf slash?
IM: Well, I'm quite a fan of pornography. I think it's a very good idea. I think it stops people from going out and hurting each other.
--From an interview with The Wave (Liv Tyler and Elijah Wood also answer some questions)

Squee!
Saw last Return of the King last night.
*huggles the trilogy*
I love Sam.
( And slightly spoilerish... )
Now, I really want to see the extended version.

Why is there no mention of Bean in the Viggo interview in this month's issue of Vanity Fair?
And why are Elijah and Billy the only ones mentioned working on Viggo's album?!
Damn the reporter for omitting really, really important stuff!

So very wrong
I've gotten it in my head that I would very much like to make a Mojo Jojo/Bubbles OTP icon. And I do believe the world needs more XAndrew icons. It's good to know my icon muse has not abandoned me but I'd wish I could have some ideas for all those LOTR bases I have.
( Here lies LOTR slash )

more sad fangirl stuff
Heh.

yaoi_names, I have now claimed one of my favorite yaoi couples: Boromir and Aragorn.
Too bad there's a one couple limit or I would have claimed Doggett/Skinner too.
(BTW, no one's claimed any of the BtVS or Angel slash couples yet).

Edit: Just wanted to add this is no where near a complete list.

I swear, I go through my user pics once a week now. (And I need to get around to making more of my own.)
Now it's all about the Bean action with a tiny side of Elijah and my Scully and ducky staples.
Edit: Jon just saw the new Bean pic; "Damn git," he said.
** Git is Jon's special name for Brits though it's usually reserved for Jamie Oliver.
